I don't see any issue here. You are a bug wrangler and should have the |
| 27 |
authority to mess with anything in bugzilla. |

However, if you have scripts that rely on such specific form of bug |
| 30 |
title, then they are broken. |
| 31 |
If you have issues to sort/read use a proper mail client with filtering |
| 32 |
options. |

And here too: How you set up your mail client is your own problem. |

Seems people are more interested in bikesheddings threads than those |
| 49 |
that point out problems no one has addressed in years. |
